Watch this video to see new uses for this common kitchen item

Hi, I'm Brynn Mannino, assistant editor for womansday.com; and this is 5 Ways. Today's item? Aluminum foil. Tip 1: Iron quickly. Did you know that foil conducts heat? If you place a sheath of aluminum foil in between the ironing board and the item of clothing you're ironing, it would be done in half the time. Tip 2: If you need to tie something up like a bundle of veggies or a roaster, use a thin strip of aluminum foil. It's the perfect solution. Tip 3: Scrub burnt pots. If you're out of Brillo and you have a stubborn stain on one of your frying pans, ball up a little piece of aluminum foil. It works just as well. Tip 4: Protect handles and doorknobs. Kids getting messy with finger paint or dough? Wrap tin foil around doorknobs or thin candles to avoid a big mess. Tip 5: Prevent yucky soup skin. When storing soup or stew, cut a piece of tin foil the size of the container and place it directly under the lid. This is Brynn and you've been watching 5 Ways.
